Raja's Seat, Coorg

Raja's Seat is one of the important sites of Madikeri of Coorg District. It's a garden of seasonal flowers and wonderful fountains. These fountains are musical and they gush coloured water to loud rhythmic music.

The garden gets the name as this was the favourite recreational place for the Kodagu Kings. The Raja's seat is a small pavilion made out of brick and mortar, supported with four pillars and bridged by arches. The structure commemorates the association of this place with the Kodagu Kings.

The Kodagu Kings used to spend time with their queens in this garden. Layers of lush green garden and the valley of high and low raised mountains covered with mist, truly justifies the fascination of the Kodagu Kings for this spot.

Built at a higher level from the nearby cliffs and valleys, from Raja's seat one gets to enjoy a better view of the surroundings. Watching the sunrise and sunset with the golden light covering the whole valley with its mystic beauty is an experience in itself. There is also an added attraction of Toy train for the children to enjoy.
